Courageous Teen ResistersPrimary Sources From the HolocaustSeries: True Stories of Teens in the HolocaustBy Ann Byers DetailsDetails ReviewsReviews As the Warsaw ghetto in Poland went up in flames in April 1943, Jewish fighters fought bravely for twenty-seven days against Nazi soldiers. With deportation to a death camp all but certain, young Jews in the ghetto decided not to go quietly. Although the Nazis defeated the Jewish resistance group, the spirit of the uprising lived on. For Jews living in Europe during the Holocaust, survival was often the only form of resistance. But Jews in ghettos, concentration camps, and partisan groups across Europe did fight back. Told through the words of teen resisters, author Ann Byers details the stories of courageous young people who fought back against Nazi Germany.Publication Date: 01/01/2010Copyright: 2010Pages: 128Trim Size: 6 1/2 x 9 1/4Illustrations: Illus. with color and black-and-white photographsGrade Level: 9–12Age Level: 14–upLC Number: 2009001374Lexile: 840ATOS Reading Level: 6.5Dewey: 940.53FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book978-0-7660-3269-9$35.93$26.95 ". . . a solid series with a lot of eyewtiness accounts . . ."The Jewish Valuesfinder"What makes this book unique is its plethora of youthful teen voices."Children's Literature"This outstanding work of nonfiction should be added to high school libraries, classrooms and academic libraries . . .
